I really enjoyed this book! The first section was a little slow however when it really started going it was actually quite tense. I had no idea where the ending was going so I read it in about 8 hours. The layout of the book was really unique as you have some sections in normal story format, some in the characters personal notes for her project and then other extra bits like interview transcripts, this really helped me immerse into the story. I loved the two main characters Pip and Ravi and I didn't find their dialogue over the top like in some YA books. Overall it is a very strong book and I'm excited to read the sequel
